The Ghana National Oil Company (GNPC) has presented a cheque of GHS152,624.27 (US$23,300.57) to the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital to support the renovation of the hospital’s kitchen.
Presenting the cheque to the hospital, Dr Kwame Baah–Nuakoh, General Manager for Sustainability and Stakeholder Relations at GNPC indicated that the law establishing the corporation mandates it to use some of its revenues to support critical social interventions.
In providing such support, the management of the corporation is minded that its core mandate is to provide an adequate and reliable supply of petroleum products and reducing Ghana’s dependence on crude oil imports, through the development of the country’s petroleum resources.
He added that the Board of GNPC was happy to note that the hospital would be engaging its estate department to undertake the rehabilitation works.
Receiving the cheque at a short ceremony in Cape Coast, the Head of Administration of the hospital, Mr. Thomas Chireh Kuusanov said the hospital is very grateful for the gesture and emphasised that it would positively impact the quality of care given to patients and other patrons of the hospital.
“We have made several attempts to renovate our kitchen due to its insanitary state but to no avail so we are very excited that GNPC has come to our aid.”
